USP vs. USP compact?

This is a discussion on USP vs. USP compact? within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; thx for the heads up ont he browning, and i have looked at those but i am pretty much set on a usp....

Insight has several models to choose from. Some have laser integrated and some are just the light. Depending on the model chosen will determine whether an additional bracket is needed. Prices range from about $160 for the M2 light up to $350 for the M6x light/laser. They have models for the USP or USPc.

Don't get me wrong, I love my USP. Its the gun I shoot best with, but I don't want to carry it all day long in the summer. I am not a big guy, 5'10" 170 lb. or so. The USP just sticks out too much for me.

well im a little bigger than you, not to say you're small (6'1, 220) and i wear my clothes rather loosely( my dad says it looks like a family of gypsies moved out of my jeans) so i don't think it will be a big deal, but i guess i will have to see for myself once i get the gun.

sorry, i forgot to mention that i plan on getting whichever gun i decide on chambered in .40 s&w

I have the USP compact in 40 cal. I LOVE the weapon and how it handles. If you're looking for a dual caliber weapon, you can get the compact in 40 or 357Sig, and get the corrisponding BBL for it in order to change the caliber. You'll NOT need to change the slide, as the two cases are the same, and the boltface dims don't change. Therefore, you can shoot both calibers, just change BBLS.
